What this skill tells the agent
Xcode Simulator Test
Build and exercise an iOS app on a simulator, preserving screenshots, logs, human-verification results, and failures as evidence for the user.
Done:
- A completed run reports overall
PASS,FAIL, orPARTIALplus project, scheme, simulator, build result, per-surfacePASS/FAIL/SKIP, console errors, human checks, and residual failures. - Per-surface status is derived from evidence, not the user's routing choice.
PASSrequires completed passing evidence.FAILrecords observed failing evidence until a completed retest replaces it.SKIPmeans the check has no completed outcome. - The overall result is
FAILwhile any failure remains,PARTIALwhen no failure remains but a scoped check is skipped, and otherwisePASS. - Any failure before the app is launched with log capture running stops later stages and reports an actionable setup blocker with its evidence.
Boundaries: this skill tests and reports. Diagnosis and any user-approved product fix belong to ce-debug, invoked with its authority narrowed so it returns here without committing, pushing, or opening a PR. Keep simulator interaction within the app and flows the user placed in scope.
Run
- Prepare and launch. Read
references/setup-and-build.md. It defines the XcodeBuildMCP availability check, project and scheme discovery, simulator choice, build, install, launch, and log-capture start. - Exercise and report. After launch, read
references/test-and-report.md. It defines per-screen evidence, human-only flows, the SwiftUI inline-link automation limitation, what to do when a check fails, cleanup, and the fixed summary fields.
Do not replace either required read with remembered tool names. XcodeBuildMCP adapters differ by host, while their observable success conditions do not.
